>78% of men watch porn in 2025
>70% of porn audiences are men
>3% of men are gay
>gay categories get their own stats
>less than 1% of men admit to wanting to fuck trannies

hmm...this doesn't add up
also interestingly the top category on the gay site by far is femboys
>>
Nootice this too.
The normies severely underestimate the goonettes :3

>less than 1% of men admit to wanting to fuck trannies
yeah nigga they still do tho
>>
>>42070714
i wonder how they figure out the gender of who's watching?
>>
>>42070724
my point
>>
>>42070691
it's severely fucked (in a bad way) that the rise in tranny porn consumption directly correlates with loss of trans rights. dworkin tried to warn us
>>
>>42070759
Figuring out the gender is the easiest part of data harvesting.
Y'all have no idea just how good the tracking algorithms have become.

Most normies don't sandbox. And VPN doesn't cover the tracking, but merely bypass some versions of censorship.

>>
>>42070852
but like what specific data gives that away?
>>
>>42070901
Shopping habits, social media patterns, sometimes speech and writing patterns, time spent online, approximate geographic location, remarkably accurate job information, one's native tongue, and that's just the beginning.

Porn sites like PH and Xhamster are ahead of normie social media when it comes to data collection.

Is it 100% accurate? No. But it is 97%+ accurate on all metrics. And more than 99% accurate on gender.

The only way around it is to sandbox.
Normies still think that tracking is done by IP. This hasn't been true in over a decade. Tracking is done by cookies and by device. Having a portable always-resetting browser bypasses that. Most normies don't do that.
>>
>>42070931
it's not even just shit like cookies and device, fingerprinting is wayyyy more advanced than that, think more akin to the exact browser you use from your user-agent string, your hardware specs, your aspect ratio, your gpu, whether you have configurations to your about::config, etc
you were made to be logged and tracked lol.
>>
>>42071004
well, it's not even really advanced, it's just intended functionality lol.
>>
>>42071004
>fingerprinting is wayyyy more advanced than that

I know. I'm just trying to explain it for people who don't dabble into this shit for a living.

If people knew and understood what I know about these things, zero people would be using a smartphone lol
Oh, and 90% of porn consumption is on smartphones, which makes the figuring out of demographic data even easier than ever
>>
>>42071110
>>42070931
>remarkably accurate job information
however, this does intrigue me.
everything else you mentioned i understand, especially since so much data goes through application-level load-distribution/CDNs like cloudflare, but i've never heard of data like what job you have being a part of that.
care to elaborate?
>>
>>42070691
>>3% of men are gay
lol
>>
>>42070759
>>42070931
>Having a portable always-resetting browser bypasses that. Most normies don't do that.
all that does is draw attention to yourself

>>42071004
if it was user agent it would be trivial to work around, you can change a user agent without breaking a website, but most of the stuff they use to fingerprint you is impossible to disable without either breaking the website or making you glow like the glowiest glowie of all time
>>
>>42070852
I thought most normies used tails to watch porn :`(
>>
>>42070815
honestly where can i read a sort of thorough or academic treatment of the phenomenon of people getting sexual gratification behind closed doors from people/things that they hate? Is Dworkin good for getting an understanding of that? Intuitively it seems to me like being a sexual object in someone's mind, especially in a porn setting, is often linked to that someone not being particularly interested in granting the "object" rights or respect, but there's probably more to it than that. Dominance over a perceived inferior, whatever. It's interesting to me but I'm too dumb to figure it all out
>>
>>42070691
every guy that fucked me this year told me they were straight.
guys just say they're straight.
>>
>>42071176
>>42072056
so what's the argument here? a huge portion of straight men are actually gay?
> every guy that fucked me this year told me they were straight
ya dl guys exist, they're a tiny fraction of men
>>
porn watchers aren’t representative of normal people since this will track probs the top 10% of the most addicted men rather than most men who watch porn every so often. but anyway, i’ve known men who watch the porn but are grossed out by troons irl
>>
>>42072167
yes.
and there is even straight guys that are sloooow burns like i can hang out with them for 3-4 months, they're straight, theyre safe to chill with, they're cool..

then they open up a bit and are open to trying things with me without me initiating it, they come clean.

i like them more though when theyre like that
cause we already have enough experiences together i know its not a fetish or anything they end up liking me enough they become open to it.

which for me just feels better.


i think they really are straight.
>>
>>42070691
>trans porn 2nd most common category period
this stat freaks me out so bad. how many people have i interacted with that watch this stuff? how many strangers have i made eye contact with who were trans porn fanatics? statistically speaking, probably a bunch??? how often when i think someone is looking at me weird is it because in their heads they were thinking "woah, i think that thing over there is one of those trannies i like to jerk off to. did it just make eyecontact with me?"? how many people's hands have i shaken? how many FRIENDS do i have that are watching this stuff and I don't know about it? this statistic is like the most alarming thing in the world to me. is the whole world really that obsessed with us?
>>
>>42070852
if they have so much of my data why do they serve me advertisements about car insurance (i have no car), solar panel installation (i rent an apartment), and ads in some kinda weird slavic language (i'm american) instead of things actually germaine to my interests (fart porn)?
>>
>>42072194
>porn watchers aren't representative of normal people
79% of men in a 2024 study admitted to watching porn and nearly half of women do
most people watch porn
>>42072229
>is the whole world really that obsessed with us?
apparently. either way this is an awful revelation because trans porn is disgusting and hyper fixates on the parts we hate the most about ourselves. its basically a dl chaser factory and i hate that for us
>>
>>42072250
>fart porn

Have you tried having more mainstream interests, even on porn?

On a more serious note, the tracking for advertising purposes is not uniform. Some do it better than others. I know it appears coordinated but it really isn't. Even google itself isn't coordinated with itself on different sub-services.
